Be itknown that I, WILLIAM EBEBHARD, of Akron, in the county of Summitand State of Ohio, have ,invented a new and limproved Carpet-rag Cutter;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, elearand exactdescription-thereof', which will enable others skilled inthe art to makeand use the same, .reference being had to. the accompanying drawingforming part of this specification.

Figure 1 vrepresents a side view, partly in section, of my improvedrag-cutter.

Figure 2 is an end view of the same.

Figure 3 is a plan or top view of the saine.

Sthismlar letters of reference 'indicate corresponding par l Myinvention relates to machines for cutting ragsv and analogous material,and consists in certain improrements thereon, which will be firstdescribed inl connection with all that may be necessary toa cle-arunderstanding thereof, and then specified in claim.

vA.in the drawing represents the table of my -improved rag-cutter.

' The table is supported'ou a frame, B, which stands either directly onthe ground or support, or which, by means of a screw, C, can he clampedto a bench or other xed. device. A I n a standard, 1, 'which projectsfrom the table A, are the bearings of ahorizontal shaft, D, whichcarries a rotary cutter, E, at one end.

Another shaft, F,is.hung in the frame B, under thetabIe A and parallelto D. A '1t carries also a rotary cutter, G.

The cutting-edges ot' the disks E G overlap each other through a slot inthe table A,'and a pair of rotary shears is thus produced. l Y

Upon the shaft F are mounted, on both sides of the disk G, a pair ofeedrollers, H H, which project y above t-he surface of the table, asshown.

rollers.

' The ena of nis-fabric to be ma is placca between 1 the feed andpressure-rollers, and will, as the shaft F' is revolved by means of acrank,`bo r otherwise, be

drawn along and fed to the shears E G, in the desired y manner. Y

Thewidth of the strips to be cut is regulatedpby [DERDE of a gauge, J,which is secured .upon the. table A, and which .has a slotted shank, c,to be set t-any..

suitable distance from the cutters. A screw,`e, passing through saidslotted' shank,l

serves position.
